Given businesses generally buy something to make money out of it, then clearly yes.

I'm a bit surprised. I don't think Volvo's big enough to survive alone.

Fundamentally l dont get it. I thought that they wanted to share tech and platforms to create economies of scale across their brands. Hence why we see all the XC90 tech in the new London cab.

Unless of course they plan to float Volvo but retain a controlling stake so lets say only 49 percent of shares are available on the exchange.

That would make a lot more sense than just flogging it off.
